Product Details

Material

VPD (Visco-Elastic Polymer Dough) is modified Polyurethane foam that is soft, comfortable and adapts to create an individual fit but when exposed to impact the material stiffens and has extreme energy absorption properties.

I wear these light padding shorts as part of my basic base layer. They fit well and are fairly cool and dry like bike shorts. They could save some pain if sliding out on ice or snow hidden rocks. The only con is just another thing to put on.
